Gene and cohost Tim Swartz present a special appearance from veteran UFO researcher Chris Rutkowski, who offers a really check about the current state of research into the phenomenon. He has expansive credentials as an investigator and writer, including: contributing editor of International UFO Reporter and was the editor of the Swamp Gas Journal, an occasional Ufozine first published in 1978 when he was part of Decadent Winnipeg Fandom. He is a past-president of the Winnipeg Science Fiction Society and was part of the Winnipeg SF community that gathered Saturdays at the home of the legendary “first fan” Chester Cuthbert. He is also a past-president of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada — Winnipeg Centre and has degrees in science and education. Chris Rutkowski blogs at: uforum.blogspot.com. Rutkowski also has nine published books, including: Visitations? (1989); Unnatural History (1993); Mysterious Manitoba, co-authored with Dave Creighton and Brian Fidler (1997); Abductions and Aliens (2000); The Canadian UFO Report, co-authored with Geoff Dittman (2006); A World of UFOs (2008), I Saw It Too! (2009), The Big Book of UFOs (2010) and When They Appeared, co-authored with Stan Michalak (2019). His last book was Canada's UFOs — Declassified (2022), and he has been working on a new book.
